Coconuts on Christmas Jumper Day
Make the world better with a sweater was this year’s Christmas motto at Coconut Creatives. The Christmas Jumper has been in style exile for many years so, this year, the Coconuts brought it back to raise money for Christmas Jumper Day, organised by Save the Children. Save the Children is a charity that protects the rights of children in more than 120 countries, reaching more than 80 million children each year.
Christmas is the time of giving. It is the time where families get together and where children get excited about what Santa’s is going to bring them.Unfortunately not all children have the good fortune of a cosy Christmas. So Coconut Creatives, the leading marketing company in the franchise industry dressed up in style and joined the fun to raise donations in support of this worthy cause.
This year Christmas Jumper Day was celebrated on the 14th of December. It is a day where the workspace is transformed into a festive place and all Coconuts wore Christmas Jumpers in all their crazy forms. In the UK, the money raised on Christmas Jumper Day will help buy blankets, school uniforms, beds and other necessities that make a difference in children’s lives. So far the woolly wonders have raised in excess of £1 million.

“I found the franchisor marketing workshop hugely beneficial, I have already been able to implement some great changes and improvements based on the advice and information given at the workshop. I found the one-to-one sessions with the experts very helpful as they were able to give specific advice on your business. Since attending the marketing workshop I am now working closely with Coconut Creatives in mentoring programme. This has so far helped us to look in more detail at our marketing campaigns, work on improving these, generating more leads and getting better results. The advice and support provided so far has been exceptional. I am really looking forward to continuing to work with Sarah and Coconut Creatives to build our business and would have no hesitation in strongly recommending Coconut Creatives to any franchisor,” Sophie Brooks, Franchisor for Clive’s Easylearn Pop Music Schools.

Coconut Creatives decided to present a different kind of Christmas gift this year in the form of a Christmas Coconut! And a hit they were!
The Coconuts arrived in their own little box specially prepared for the occasion and wrapped in red sparkly tinsel. “We thought we’d inject some light hearted fun in the week running up to Christmas as often it can be a stressful busy time trying to tie up loose ends before the Christmas holidays begin,” explained Sarah Dyer, founder of Coconut Creatives.
Once the Coconuts had arrived at their various destinations throughout the UK ranging from York to London to Weymouth, the response was quite funny! Some photos began to come in demonstrating Coconut activity! One got married, another went on holiday and some joined in with Christmas parties!
“We’re really glad we sent out our Christmas Coconuts this year,” says Sarah. “Just wait to see what we send out next year!”
